Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The causes of hypersalivation include excessive starch intake, reflux disease, pancreatitis, liver disease, oral infections and decreased saliva clearance. So, before trying any medication try some lifestyle modification. If that did not help then you can use some medication. Hope this will help you and wishing you a faster recovery.

Treatment plan

1. Avoid high starch food like potato, bread, cereals, rice and corn. 2. Maintain oral hygiene. 3. Avoid spicy and fried foods.
